Diesel power station Backup source CAT 35168 For safe shutdown of the experimental technologies 5000l (approx. 1320 gallons) of diesel- 12 hours of operation
Waste water treatment Connection with municipal drainage No need to have waste water treatment plant Oil separator for parking area
Cooling of rooms and experimental technologies Water is treated with bactericides (concentration is low). In case of discharging it will not cause threat to municipal waste water treatment plant.

Waste management CURRENTLY we do not produce dangerous waste, but we have a system in place amount of produced waste is „small“ FUTURE amount and type of waste will increase and will be depending on the research activities and the associated maintenance.
RA Waste Management The amount and type of radioactive waste that ELI will be probably generated will be various depending on the research activities and the associated cleaning and maintenance of experimental areas. Almost all of this radioactive waste will be category of low-level radioactive waste. Activated materials Filters Dumps and local shielding Experimental chamber and equipment within Contamination (debris from targets) Handling activated materials = Transport, Temporary storage, Final disposal
QUESTIONS What type of environmental risk assessment do you use? What is an approach for environmental planning in your facility? What are the possible environmental issues associated with start-up of new facility? How do you manage a waste flow in your facility?
